Gallery Wrap or Stretched for a Frame

Gallery wrap

A gallery wrap is for hanging on the wall without a frame. The picture wraps around the edge of the canvas, so the sides are part of the image.

Because part of the picture wraps around the sides, a 24 x 30 inch image may show only about 22 x 28 inches on the front.

Stretched for custom framing

When we stretch a canvas for custom framing, you see more of the image, because only the edge is hidden behind the frame. We stretch it when we are framing it. Choose a float frame or a traditional frame from our thousands of samples.

Float Frames for Canvas

A float frame holds the canvas inside the frame with a small gap around it, so the canvas looks like it is floating and the whole front of the picture stays visible. We have a huge float frame selection for paintings and prints on canvas.

We can re-stretch an old canvas and remove the wrinkles. In some cases we can also touch up a painting. Some canvases are barely wrinkled and some are in poor shape, so we need to see yours to give a price.

Canvas Stretching Questions

Prices, sizes and timing for canvas stretching.

How much does canvas stretching cost in San Antonio?

Gallery wrap stretching starts at $54 for 8 x 10 inches and goes to $295 for 36 x 48 inches, the same for a painting or a print. Sizes not on our price list are quoted when you call or bring it in. Stretching for a frame has no set price, because it is only done when we are framing the canvas, and it is discounted based on the frame you buy.

How long does canvas stretching take?

Canvas stretching takes about two weeks. We build the wood stretcher frame to your exact size, then stretch the canvas on it. Call (210) 615-8229 if you need it by a certain date.

What is the difference between a gallery wrap and stretching for a frame?

A gallery wrap hangs on the wall without a frame, and the image wraps around the edge of the canvas, so a 24 x 30 inch image may show only about 22 x 28 inches on the front. When we stretch a canvas for custom framing, you see more of the image, because only the edge is hidden behind the frame. Gallery wrap starts at $54.

What is the largest canvas you can stretch?

The largest stretcher we make is 90 x 60 inches. We custom make every natural wood frame to the exact size needed. For sizes above 36 x 48 inches, call or bring it in for a quote.

Can you stretch a rolled painting I bought on a trip?

Yes. We make a wood stretcher frame to the exact size of your rolled painting and stretch it as a gallery wrap or for custom framing. Gallery wrap starts at $54, and other sizes are quoted when you call or bring it in.

Can you fix a wrinkled or sagging canvas?

Yes. We can re-stretch an old canvas and remove the wrinkles, and in some cases we can touch up a painting. Some canvases are barely wrinkled and some are in poor shape, so we need to see yours before we give a price.

Do you stretch canvas prints from another printer?

Yes. We stretch any canvas you bring into our shop, whether it is a painting or a print made somewhere else. Gallery wrap is the same price either way, from $54.

Do you have float frames?

Yes. We have a huge float frame selection for paintings and prints on canvas. A float frame holds the canvas inside the frame with a small gap, so the canvas looks like it is floating and the whole front of the picture stays visible.
